Major Merging: The Way to Make a Massive, Passive Galaxy
Arjen van der Wel, Hans-Walter Rix, Bradford P. Holden +2
We analyze the projected axial ratio distribution, p(b/a), of galaxies that were spectroscopically selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (DR6) to have low star-formation rates…
Less than 10 percent of star formation in z=0.6 massive galaxies is triggered by major interactions
Aday R. Robaina, Eric F. Bell, Rosalind E. Skelton +26
Both observations and simulations show that major tidal interactions or mergers between gas-rich galaxies can lead to intense bursts of starformation. Yet, the average enhancement…
History of Galaxy Interactions and their Impact on Star Formation over the Last 7 Gyr from GEMS
Shardha Jogee, Sarah H. Miller, Kyle Penner +22
We perform a comprehensive estimate of the frequency of galaxy mergers and their impact on star formation over z~0.24--0.80 (lookback time T_b~3--7 Gyr) using 3698 (M*>=1e9 Msun) g…
